Exploring what he considers to be the outstanding aspects of
fish biology, Mr. Marshall surveys the present knowledge in the
field and suggests possibilities for future investigation.
He considers the causes of the overwhelming predominance of the
teleost fishes, discusses the biology of deep-sea fishes, and
studies such aspects of dynamic design as body form, fin pattern,
muscular organization, and certain neural features in relation to
movement and water.
His last chapter, on convergent evolution, deals with
convergences among fishes as well as with convergences among fishes
and invertebrates, particularly crustaceans and cephalopods.
The volume is illustrated with a chart on evolutionary
relationships of fishes and over fifty line drawings.
